I took my chance and had a go at reading some Shakespeare. Not my first time, I do remember reading A Midsummet Night’s Dream for school years ago.

The edition I read includes good references and a glossary, which helps the understanding of the text. And a note of warning, the text is clearly a product of its time, with clear mentions of assault and such.

Still, a classic.
